Q: Which track would boost your country's birthrate?

This morning I was shocked to learn that Germany had in fact almost the worst birthrate in the world (only beaten by Hong Kong. where the reds might have introduced a give-away condom program to stop the birth of capitalist-enterprising babies). A measly 8.6 compared to the world's 20 births to a thousand inhabitants average. I remember in Germany in the early eighties a song called Bruttosozialprodukt rallied the nation to increase our national gross product. So, in this spirit, come on people, we need to do something here. We need a re-launched hit to increase your dying race's birthrate ...
Well, a few objections come to mind, and an original solution is clearly needed here. One, merely stimulating increased sex, through, say, a national Barry-White-cast, will not produce more babies. Two, getting the 20/30-something working-bored to share their plasma-screen-fitted apartments with little porridge-spitters is as futile as it is desirable. Three, looking at the list of the most fertile countries in the world, it seems that the only thing that will increase offspringing is a decent civil war (Afghanistan, Liberia, Somalia, Sierra Leone and so on are the top ten).
No, clearly what we need is to return to a gathering place, a place to worship the womb and the pheromone, as erotisizing and celebratory as it is anesthesizing, making you forget that a child in the western world will cost you a fat million to raise to college age, in short, a VILLAGE OF LOVE.
So here's something from my favourite ex-stripper, ex-butcher, retro cover band, the fabulous Detroit Cobras (from the Peel Sessions), which by the way are coming to our rat town in October. Alabamalama!
